Hi, new member reading threads and taking notes. I wanted to share my first serious carve. I took a cracked, termite-eaten pine (?) 1x8 (?) I found under my house and turned it into this. It’s obviously a tribute to the OA PNG mask, which I saw in person at their open house. But I did a more restrained paint job, and added some wood textures using Dremel and Arbortech power carving tools.

Thanks, everyone. If you’re interested in wood textures check out “FromASeed” on Youtube. I can zen out to his videos for an hour.

I called it my first ‘serious’ carve but I guess the bar counts as the real #1. Not sure if it’s visible but the verticals have tikis on them and the horizontals have a router poly pattern.

Next project is a table, once I find the lumber. (~4” redwood round posts in So Cal anyone?)

Wow - looks really great for your first "real" carve! Dig the bar trim, too!
